Atomically Correct

Comedy • Science

New South Wales

This is the (nuclear) fusion you've been waiting for! A science comedy that explores how, even though we're mostly nothing, we all still matter.

Unravel the mysteries from inside the atom with award-winning Rachel Rayner, Science Explainer. Delve into language, lies, quantum-level realities, and the happy accident that is the human race. There are sure to be plenty of puns - all particularly smashing. Whatever your state, it'll be a quarking good time.

“Do yourself a favour – you’ll laugh, you’ll learn.” Dr Karl

"This show will remind you just how beautifully atomically correct we are." TimeOut

"This is a discovery worth celebrating. You shouldn't miss is any show Rayner is in." Chuck Moore

Recommended by the Governor of SA and TimeOut Sydney Editor's pick of the Sydney Fringe.
